During the fall semester Matt came to visit me at WSU and we decided to make our mark on the Zen.
As Matt is very artistically inclined, and I would like to think that I am as well, we packed up some spray paint and made the mile trek from my apartment to the Zen. Rumor has it that the Zen staircase began in the ’70s in effort to discourage vandalism on other structures on campus.
While some students go there to huff spray paint rather than to draw with it, the staircase is usually patrolled by policemen on a regular basis, and conveniently, the police station is located next door.
Since I can’t properly draw anything without a picture to copy from, Matt was in charge of drawing our “graffiti” and I merely colored it in. Here it is!
“Rollerman” is about 8 or 9 feet tall and sits on the third of the seven Zen flights. I went back the next day to take this picture, and there was already spray paint covering our creation.
